Error while trying to align to scores imported from PDFs

• Jul 28, 2022 - 20:45

Hi,

I am trying to bring into MuseScore some PDFs of different instruments of the same music.
The import has done quite a good job for the sax part, but when I experimented pasting an excerpt of the sax score it into the guitar score, it is messing the notes durations.

I know importing PDFs are at an experimental stage and is offered as is, but how could I ensure I could join these two parts together properly?

many thanks once again for the kind support and the brilliant software

There are many "corrupted" measures (have more or less notes, than should, as per time signature).
Those with gray + (orother sign) on right side

You should fix it before pastingsaxinto guitar (both instruments should have same number of beats in measures)

In reply to by qqpwfx8bxy

  1. Right-click in an empty part of the measure, choose Measure Properties
  2. In Measure Duration, check whether the Norminal duration matches the Actual duration

Trying to correct a problem on this screen often will not work. Instead, you have to insert a new measure and re-enter the notes correctly. And then you have to delete the corrupt measure. So you may find that trying to automatically generate a score from a PDF is more trouble than it's worth.

There are optical music recognition (OMR) programs which work very well, but in my experience they are commercial (paid-for) software.
